I’m honoured to be here today to share some of the best things to do in Florence, Italy. I am guessing that you are a FOODIE like me!
Like you, I am a big fan of Italy.
My family and I have spent years researching the best places to visit in Italy.
We have visited all the major cities including Venice, Verona, Milan and Rome.
We have explored the ruins of Pompeii and taken our teenagers to the North and South, East and West.

Not the most flattering of photos, but still, here I am with my two teenagers at a WONDERFUL street side café just outside Florence
We even spent six weeks housesitting in Florence (something I highly recommend if you want to know what Italy is really like).
I tell you all this so that you know you are getting advice from someone who has actually spent a great deal of time in Italy (as opposed to some AI bot that hasn’t).
Later in the post, I will also share a little secret of mine so you can discover Florence off the beaten track. This means you will get to experience the best of what this gorgeous Italian city offers but without the crowds.
And the flag holders.
Perfect.

Let me tell you everything you need to know about visiting Pompeii, including the more useful stuff such as Pompeii parking, where to get food, visiting Pompeii with kids and much, much more (that no other guidebook or blog seems to tell you!)
